Optimus Primus Keyboard.

ever key has its own LED screen that you can change to any thing you want.

its like 400 dollars. but i would get one :rockout:

Hawk1 · Feb 15, 2008

Old news. And add a 1 beside that 400 and it's closer to the real price (hence, you don't hear about anyone having one). Nice concept and looks awesome, but this is for the Paris/Lindsay crowd with too much cash and want a novelty item.

"approx. 462.27 US$"

that is from their website. unless im looking at the wrong thing

das müffin mann · Feb 15, 2008

take away the 4 and i so would buy it

Hawk1 · Feb 15, 2008

Sorry, I just remember the last few news stories about this from last year, and it was stupidly priced (estimated at the time).

xmountainxlionx · Feb 15, 2008

actually i was looking at it closer. and the 467 dollar one is passive, but you can upgrade it later on by buying the led keys....what a RIP OFF

I think it's a great idea for multi-lingual support and Cad, Photoshop etc. Just a bit too expensive for now. Be nice to see how it developes.

The best keyboard EVER is the IBM Model M. No matter what new tech comes out, the Model M will still pwn it. It is after all the only keyboard that can withstand a nuclear explosion....

Funny I just threw two of those away. Didn't work anymore. Still have one that works though.

Can't imagine sitting there, staring at my keyboard keys......and not to mention that my fingers are blocking those little screens cuz I'm USING IT!

Lame excuse for charging a fortune for what is essentially a novelty....and a rather unpractical one at that.

So True! So True!

I thought this was a 14,000USD keyboard.

Did it come down in price?

Come on now...Do you really think Paris or Lindsay would be able to figure this out let alone plug it in? You're giving them WAY to much credit. "So like, where does this cord thingy go?"

LOL They have people for things like that.

Looks like a Mimic design of an Apple keyboard with OLED.

I don't really care for it though.

Wow, that does look nice. The cyborg mouse also looks cool. Wonder what those prices will be.

AsRock · Feb 15, 2008

Just more to go wrong with it as i see them.. Granted nice but no thanks..

lemonadesoda · Feb 15, 2008

I'm not a mac fan... but the keyboards are winner.

Just PLUG IT IN to your PC. Works. No problems. Works great for Office use... and for gaming too.

That Cyborg mouse looks suspiciously like a Logitech G9 wrapped in a new skin.........
